What if everyone on your team got ten hours back everyweek?

Mid-market and enterprise teams who've outgrown spreadsheets, manual processes or off-the-shelf tools, but don't have the capacity to build what they actually need. Most of our clients have 50 to 500 people and a specific problem they can't solve with existing software. We stay with the systems we build, so domain knowledge compounds over time instead of walking out the door when a contract ends.

With a conversation. We'll ask about the problem, your team, and what success looks like. If there's a fit, we'll propose a short discovery phase to validate the approach before committing to a full build.

Selectively. If you're pre-revenue and need an MVP, we're probably not the right fit. If you've found product-market fit and need serious infrastructure to scale, we should talk.

It depends on which engagement model fits, and on scope. Every project is different, so we'll scope and quote clearly before any commitment. For context, hiring an equivalent internal AI engineer in Australia runs $258K to $382K in Year 1 when you factor in super, recruitment, onboarding and ramp-up time. Most of our engagements deliver working systems months before an internal hire would produce their first output.

It depends on the engagement shape. Where an engagement starts with paid discovery, that's invoiced on commencement as a deposit. Sometimes we choose to begin that work ahead of an agreement to keep momentum; when we do, it's brought into the commercial terms once the engagement is signed. Fixed-price builds are invoiced against agreed milestones, typically a 30/40/30 split, so larger payments track completed work. Retainers, and monthly fees that cover build and platform together, are billed monthly in advance from the agreement's execution date. Where the build has its own fee, the platform fee starts at go-live and is billed monthly in advance from there. We accept card payments and Australian bank transfer. All amounts are quoted ex GST.

We understand the frameworks that Australian enterprise clients require, whether that's ISO 27001, SOC 2, the ASD Essential Eight, APRA CPS 234, or the Cyber Security Act 2024. If your project requires formal compliance, certification, or security testing, we scope that into the quote so you know the cost and timeline upfront. In many cases we can reduce the overhead significantly by deploying inside your own cloud environment, working with synthetic data during the build, or using data privacy vaults so your sensitive fields never touch our systems directly. We'll walk you through the options so there are no surprises. See our security and compliance page for the full picture.

Some of our work is public. Carmada, an Australian car brokerage platform, runs on systems we built: all inbound calls handled by voice AI agents, finance and operations platforms, and real-time data pipelines connecting their operation end to end. The full case study is live on our case studies page. For client work under NDA, we can walk you through anonymised examples with synthesised data during a conversation.

Brisbane, Australia. We work with clients across Australia and internationally. Most collaboration happens remotely, with occasional on-site workshops for kickoffs or complex builds.
